This is a followup to D98145: As far as I know, tracking of kill
flags in FastISel is just a compile-time optimization. However,
I'm not actually seeing any compile-time regression when removing
the tracking. This probably used to be more important in the past,
before FastRA was switched to allocate instructions in reverse
order, which means that it discovers kills as a matter of course.
As such, the kill tracking doesn't really seem to serve a purpose
anymore, and just adds additional complexity and potential for
errors. This patch removes it entirely. The primary changes are
dropping the hasTrivialKill() method and removing the kill
arguments from the emitFast methods. The rest is mechanical fixup.

This patch adds a new llvm.experimental.stepvector intrinsic,
which takes no arguments and returns a linear integer sequence of
values of the form <0, 1, ...>. It is primarily intended for
scalable vectors, although it will work for fixed width vectors
too. It is intended that later patches will make use of this
new intrinsic when vectorising induction variables, currently only
supported for fixed width. I've added a new CreateStepVector
method to the IRBuilder, which will generate a call to this
intrinsic for scalable vectors and fall back on creating a
ConstantVector for fixed width.
For scalable vectors this intrinsic is lowered to a new ISD node
called STEP_VECTOR, which takes a single constant integer argument
as the step. During lowering this argument is set to a value of 1.
The reason for this additional argument at the codegen level is
because in future patches we will introduce various generic DAG
combines such as
mul step_vector(1), 2 -> step_vector(2)
add step_vector(1), step_vector(1) -> step_vector(2)
shl step_vector(1), 1 -> step_vector(2)
etc.
that encourage a canonical format for all targets. This hopefully
means all other targets supporting scalable vectors can benefit
from this too.
I've added cost model tests for both fixed width and scalable
vectors:
llvm/test/Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/neon-stepvector.ll
llvm/test/Analysis/CostModel/AArch64/sve-stepvector.ll
as well as codegen lowering tests for fixed width and scalable
vectors:

There is a bunch of similar bitfield extraction code throughout *ISelDAGToDAG.
E.g, ARMISelDAGToDAG, AArch64ISelDAGToDAG, and AMDGPUISelDAGToDAG all contain
code that matches a bitfield extract from an and + right shift.
Rather than duplicating code in the same way, this adds two opcodes:
- G_UBFX (unsigned bitfield extract)
- G_SBFX (signed bitfield extract)
They work like this
```
%x = G_UBFX %y, %lsb, %width
```
Where `lsb` and `width` are
- The least-significant bit of the extraction
- The width of the extraction
This will extract `width` bits from `%y`, starting at `lsb`. G_UBFX zero-extends
the result, while G_SBFX sign-extends the result.
This should allow us to use the combiner to match the bitfield extraction
patterns rather than duplicating pattern-matching code in each target.

This requires changes to TableGen files and some C++ files due to
incompatible multiclass template arguments that slipped through
before the improved handling.
This patch adds support for intrinsic overloading on unnamed types.
This fixes PR38117 and PR48340 and will also be needed for the Full Restrict Patches (D68484).
The main problem is that the intrinsic overloading name mangling is using 's_s' for unnamed types.
This can result in identical intrinsic mangled names for different function prototypes.
This patch changes this by adding a '.XXXXX' to the intrinsic mangled name when at least one of the types is based on an unnamed type, ensuring that we get a unique name.
Implementation details:
- The mapping is created on demand and kept in Module.
- It also checks for existing clashes and recycles potentially existing prototypes and declarations.
- Because of extra data in Module, Intrinsic::getName needs an extra Module* argument and, for speed, an optional FunctionType* argument.
- I still kept the original two-argument 'Intrinsic::getName' around which keeps the original behavior (providing the base name).
-- Main reason is that I did not want to change the LLVMIntrinsicGetName version, as I don't know how acceptable such a change is
-- The current situation already has a limitation. So that should not get worse with this patch.
- Intrinsic::getDeclaration and the verifier are now using the new version.
Other notes:
- As far as I see, this should not suffer from stability issues. The count is only added for prototypes depending on at least one anonymous struct
- The initial count starts from 0 for each intrinsic mangled name.
- In case of name clashes, existing prototypes are remembered and reused when that makes sense.

Lit as it exists today has three hacks that allow users to run tests earlier:
1) An entire test suite can set the `is_early` boolean.
2) A very recently introduced "early_tests" feature.
3) The `--incremental` flag forces failing tests to run first.
All of these approaches have problems.
1) The `is_early` feature was until very recently undocumented. Nevertheless it still lacks testing and is a imprecise way of optimizing test starting times.
2) The `early_tests` feature requires manual updates and doesn't scale.
3) `--incremental` is undocumented, untested, and it requires modifying the *source* file system by "touching" the file. This "touch" based approach is arguably a hack because it confuses editors (because it looks like the test was modified behind the back of the editor) and "touching" the test source file doesn't work if the test suite is read only from the perspective of `lit` (via advanced filesystem/build tricks).
This patch attempts to simplify and address all of the above problems.
This patch formalizes, documents, tests, and defaults lit to recording the execution time of tests and then reordering all tests during the next execution. By reordering the tests, high core count machines run faster, sometimes significantly so.
This patch also always runs failing tests first, which is a positive user experience win for those that didn't know about the hidden `--incremental` flag.
Finally, if users want, they can _optionally_ commit the test timing data (or a subset thereof) back to the repository to accelerate bots and first-time runs of the test suite.

Recently we improved the lowering of low overhead loops and tail
predicated loops, but concentrated first on the DLS do style loops. This
extends those improvements over to the WLS while loops, improving the
chance of lowering them successfully. To do this the lowering has to
change a little as the instructions are terminators that produce a value
- something that needs to be treated carefully.
Lowering starts at the Hardware Loop pass, inserting a new
llvm.test.start.loop.iterations that produces both an i1 to control the
loop entry and an i32 similar to the llvm.start.loop.iterations
intrinsic added for do loops. This feeds into the loop phi, properly
gluing the values together:
%wls = call { i32, i1 } @llvm.test.start.loop.iterations.i32(i32 %div)
%wls0 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 0
%wls1 = extractvalue { i32, i1 } %wls, 1
br i1 %wls1, label %loop.ph, label %loop.exit
...
loop:
%lsr.iv = phi i32 [ %wls0, %loop.ph ], [ %iv.next, %loop ]
..
%iv.next = call i32 @llvm.loop.decrement.reg.i32(i32 %lsr.iv, i32 1)
%cmp = icmp ne i32 %iv.next, 0
br i1 %cmp, label %loop, label %loop.exit
The llvm.test.start.loop.iterations need to be lowered through ISel
lowering as a pair of WLS and WLSSETUP nodes, which each get converted
to t2WhileLoopSetup and t2WhileLoopStart Pseudos. This helps prevent
t2WhileLoopStart from being a terminator that produces a value,
something difficult to control at that stage in the pipeline. Instead
the t2WhileLoopSetup produces the value of LR (essentially acting as a
lr = subs rn, 0), t2WhileLoopStart consumes that lr value (the Bcc).
These are then converted into a single t2WhileLoopStartLR at the same
point as t2DoLoopStartTP and t2LoopEndDec. Otherwise we revert the loop
to prevent them from progressing further in the pipeline. The
t2WhileLoopStartLR is a single instruction that takes a GPR and produces
LR, similar to the WLS instruction.
%1:gprlr = t2WhileLoopStartLR %0:rgpr, %bb.3
t2B %bb.1
...
bb.2.loop:
%2:gprlr = PHI %1:gprlr, %bb.1, %3:gprlr, %bb.2
...
%3:gprlr = t2LoopEndDec %2:gprlr, %bb.2
t2B %bb.3
The t2WhileLoopStartLR can then be treated similar to the other low
overhead loop pseudos, eventually being lowered to a WLS providing the
branches are within range.

This patch introduces a new intrinsic @llvm.experimental.vector.splice
that constructs a vector of the same type as the two input vectors,
based on a immediate where the sign of the immediate distinguishes two
variants. A positive immediate specifies an index into the first vector
and a negative immediate specifies the number of trailing elements to
extract from the first vector.
For example:
@llvm.experimental.vector.splice(<A,B,C,D>, <E,F,G,H>, 1) ==> <B, C, D, E> ; index
@llvm.experimental.vector.splice(<A,B,C,D>, <E,F,G,H>, -3) ==> <B, C, D, E> ; trailing element count
These intrinsics support both fixed and scalable vectors, where the
former is lowered to a shufflevector to maintain existing behaviour,
although while marked as experimental the recommended way to express
this operation for fixed-width vectors is to use shufflevector. For
scalable vectors where it is not possible to express a shufflevector
mask for this operation, a new ISD node has been implemented.
This is one of the named shufflevector intrinsics proposed on the
mailing-list in the RFC at [1].

a single value. Internally, it uses ValueAsMetadata to track the individual
values, but there is also a reasonable amount of DIArgList-specific
value-tracking logic on top of that. Similar to ValueAsMetadata, it is a special
case in parsing and printing due to the fact that it requires a function state

This patch should not result in any immediate functional change; it allows for

explicitly emitting retainRV or claimRV calls in the IR
This reapplies ed4718eccb12bd42214ca4fb17d196d49561c0c7, which was reverted
because it was causing a miscompile. The bug that was causing the miscompile
has been fixed in 75805dce5ff874676f3559c069fcd6737838f5c0.
Original commit message:
Background:
This fixes a longstanding problem where llvm breaks ARC's autorelease
optimization (see the link below) by separating calls from the marker
instructions or retainRV/claimRV calls. The backend changes are in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D92569.
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html#arc-runtime-objc-autoreleasereturnvalue
What this patch does to fix the problem:
- The front-end adds operand bundle "clang.arc.attachedcall" to calls,
which indicates the call is implicitly followed by a marker
instruction and an implicit retainRV/claimRV call that consumes the
call result. In addition, it emits a call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use, which consumes the call result, to
prevent the middle-end passes from changing the return type of the
called function. This is currently done only when the target is arm64
and the optimization level is higher than -O0.
- ARC optimizer temporarily emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the calls
with the operand bundle in the IR and removes the inserted calls after
processing the function.
- ARC contract pass emits retainRV/claimRV calls after the call with the
operand bundle. It doesn't remove the operand bundle on the call since
the backend needs it to emit the marker instruction. The retainRV and
claimRV calls are emitted late in the pipeline to prevent optimization
passes from transforming the IR in a way that makes it harder for the
ARC middle-end passes to figure out the def-use relationship between
the call and the retainRV/claimRV calls (which is the cause of
PR31925).
- The function inliner removes an autoreleaseRV call in the callee if
nothing in the callee prevents it from being paired up with the
retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. It then inserts a release call if
claimRV is attached to the call since autoreleaseRV+claimRV is
equivalent to a release. If it cannot find an autoreleaseRV call, it
tries to transfer the operand bundle to a function call in the callee.
This is important since the ARC optimizer can remove the autoreleaseRV
returning the callee result, which makes it impossible to pair it up
with the retainRV/claimRV call in the caller. If that fails, it simply
emits a retain call in the IR if retainRV is attached to the call and
does nothing if claimRV is attached to it.
- SCCP refrains from replacing the return value of a call with a
constant value if the call has the operand bundle. This ensures the
call always has at least one user (the call to
@llvm.objc.clang.arc.noop.use).
- This patch also fixes a bug in replaceUsesOfNonProtoConstant where
multiple operand bundles of the same kind were being added to a call.
Future work:
- Use the operand bundle on x86-64.
- Fix the auto upgrader to convert call+retainRV/claimRV pairs into
calls with the operand bundles.

This patch adds a new instruction that can represent variadic debug values,
DBG_VALUE_VAR. This patch alone covers the addition of the instruction and a set
of basic code changes in MachineInstr and a few adjacent areas, but does not
correctly handle variadic debug values outside of these areas, nor does it
generate them at any point.
The new instruction is similar to the existing DBG_VALUE instruction, with the
following differences: the operands are in a different order, any number of
values may be used in the instruction following the Variable and Expression
operands (these are referred to in code as “debug operands”) and are indexed
from 0 so that getDebugOperand(X) == getOperand(X+2), and the Expression in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR must use the DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator to pass arguments into the
expression.
The new DW_OP_LLVM_arg operator is only valid in expressions appearing in a
DBG_VALUE_VAR; it takes a single argument and pushes the debug operand at the
index given by the argument onto the Expression stack. For example the
sub-expression `DW_OP_LLVM_arg, 0` has the meaning “Push the debug operand at
index 0 onto the expression stack.”

Disabling LICM for loops with coroutine suspension is a better option not only for correctness purpose but also for performance purpose.
In most cases LICM sinks memory operations. In the case of coroutine, sinking memory operation out of the loop does not improve performance since coroutien needs to get data from the frame anyway. In fact LICM would hurt coroutine performance since it adds more entries to the frame.
